Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton called for
new gun-control measures in the wake of a shooting at a community
college in Oregon on Thursday that left at least 13 people dead.

"It is just beyond my comprehension that we are seeing these mass
murders happen again and again and again. And as I have said, we
have got to get the political will to do everything we can to
keep people safe," Clinton told Merica.

"You know I know there is a way to have sensible gun control
measures that help prevent violence, prevent guns from getting
into the wrong hands and save lives."

Clinton also tweeted from her account later Thursday:

Another devastating shooting. We need sensible gun control measures to save lives, and I will do everything I can to achieve that. -H
